Great for most situations. Depending on your complexities, Intuit TurboTax is a great option for self service or Intuit supported tax preparation. The system will store your prior year data making gathering needed documents easy.

We select TurboTax for its wide user base (familiarity), price points (multiple offerings based on users' needs), user experience (intuitiveness), technology (adaptive to user tax situations and simplify user data entry by means of upload feature), customer support (for implementer and end-users) and expert support (i.e., CPA), cloud capability, safety and security. Other products also offer several features like those but not to the same level of comprehensiveness and sophistication.
